Scientists from around the world use our synchrotron for ground-breaking research in health, agriculture, environment, and advanced materials.
Researchers from Mexico have created a battery that can still function after being punctured and submerged in water – conditions that would likely ignite the #LithiumIon #batteries currently used in cell phones and electric vehicles. https://bit.ly/47JDC65

#ResearchInAction USask researcher Andrew Grosvenor is using the CLS to develop a glass-based material for safely sequestering intermediate-level waste from small modular reactors (#SMR). INSERT LINK @usaskartsci.bsky.social
Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant #superbugs - a Top 10 global public health issue. Researchers at @mcgill.ca @healthsciences.mcgill.ca have discovered enzymes that use a never-before-seen mechanism to confer resistance. https://bit.ly/48ZVXhv
Synchrotron light shows fragments of lead left behind in hunted meat are far tinier than previously shown and present in concentrations exceeding levels set by human health agencies. https://bit.ly/3XEs2od #hunting #lead
#ResearchInAction: Researchers from McGill University are using the CLS to study #enzymes that let #bacteria destroy #itaconate, a small molecule our immune cells make when fighting bacteria. The team's findings could be used to design drugs that block those enzymes. https://bit.ly/4p5UBqq
Researchers from the University of Guelph have determined the 3D structure of enzymes in bacteria that transform steroids into effective treatments for human diseases. The discovery will help advance development of new medications. https://bit.ly/4pm8bWF

Researchers at @westernu.ca are working on a new type of #battery – called solid-state sodium batteries – that are showing promise as a safer, cheaper, more powerful alternative to #LithiumIon. https://youtu.be/bvUB4keZa88
Solid-state sodium batteries promise safer, cheaper, more powerful alternative (DECIDE ON TITLE)
The lithium-ion batteries that power many personal electronics and electric vehicles contain flammable liquid electrolytes and rare elements. Researchers from Western University have developed a safer, cheaper, longer-lasting alternative that uses sodiu...

A database designed by a CLS scientist is making it easy for researchers working in materials science, biology, chemistry, and environmental science to store, share, and use X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data generated by synchrotrons. Full story: https://bit.ly/484Cg7e
